After the best part of a year of indecision, I eventually bought a G2 Ergonomics Dirt Tamer throttle.
One of the negative points of the bike, for my riding (and lack of riding skills) was the on-off nature of the throttle. I do mostly slow, technical trails, and I have been uncomfortable with riding just off the throttle stop, where progress has been jerky to say the least - as I hit a bump, my right hand twitches, and the bike either surges forward or stops! This was also noticeable on long, slippery downhills, where engine braking is required - any throttle twitch makes for jerky progress.
So, with the Tamer bought from G2, via Rutmonkey (a week to get from the States to the UK is better than our internal post at times!!), fitted with a heated grip ready for the winter, I was out on the trails.
Initial impressions were that it had made no difference - but I was riding on the road, with significant throttle openings, so I should have expected that! On the slow, nadgery stuff, it has made a big difference - the on-off is still there, but greatly reduced, and my progress is now much smoother.
Overall, well worth the outlay for me, with my riding habits and style. For someone who is more press-on, or on faster trails, it wouldn't be any use though.
